The first time I received the table it came broken, but after speaking with customer service, they ensured that it was packaged much better this time. Table is heavy and is a beautiful color (it looks like travertine). The table did not come with assembly instructions, but assembly was easy. I would say this table is better for small spaces. I thought the shape of the table was going to be more lima bean, but it looks more like a pickle shape with the ends being a lot more skinny. Also, I thought the table top would be one big slab of stone, but it's two pieces of 0.75" stone glued together. I would pass on this for the price.
